LUB-LS is a liquid modified vegetable oils and emulsifiers used as a general borehole for use in water based drilling fluids. LUB-LS reduces friction between the drill pipe and casing, and between the drill pipe borehole wall. LUB-LS is biodegradable.

LUB-LS is also specially formulated to release differentially stuck pipe.

LUB-LS remains effective and stable up to 160oC.

APPLICATION:

LUB-LS is recommended for reducing torque and drag.

Improve lubricating qualities of water based fluids.

Free stuck pipe when added in proper concentrations.

COMPOSITION:

Vegetable Oils: 82-85%

Surfactants: 5-6%

Emulsifiers: 7-8%

Glycerine: 5-6%

KOH: 0.2-0.5%

TYPICAL PHYSICAL PROPERTIES:

Appearance: Amber liquid

Specific weight at 15oC (g/l): 0.95 – 0.97

Viscosity at 40oC (mm2/s): 280 - 300

Flash point oC: >290

Pour point oC: <-18

PH (1% solution): > 7

Toxicity : Non-toxic

RECOMMENDED TREATMENT:

LUB-LS should be added directly to the mud system, via either the mixing hoper or the suction pit.

Depending on depth, inclination and length of the open hole, addition is 1-3% by volum of LUB-LS, through the hopper, should provide optimum friction reduction.

Maintenance level ± 1 kg/m3/day.

The most effective perfomance is obtained in a PH ranger between 8 – 9.5

ENVIROMENTAL INFORMATION:
